Cylinder Pressure-Relief Devices钢瓶减压装置General概述Pressure-relief devices are installed on most cylinders to prevent the rupture of a normally pressurized cylinder when it is inadvertently exposed to fire or high temperatures. There are many types of pressure-relief devices; each has a designated use. Types of pressure-relief device designs include fusible plugs, rupture disks, rupture disks with fusible metal backing, and spring-loaded relief valves.大多数钢瓶上安装有减压装置,以防止当无意中暴露于火或高压时正常加压的钢瓶破裂。

减压装置有许多种类型;每种都有指定的用途。

减压装置的设计类型包括易熔塞、破裂盘、带易熔金属衬里的破碎盘和弹簧减压阀。

This Safetygram identifies the pressure-relief devices used to provide cylinder protection for various compressed gases. The specific pressure-relief device designated for a compressed gas cylinder depends on many factors, including the type of gas, the Department of Transportation (DOT) rated service, test pressures of the cylinder, and the cylinder size.本安全程序鉴别为各种压缩气体提供钢瓶保护的减压装置。

指定用于一种压缩气体钢瓶的专门减压装置取决于许多因素,包括气体类型、交通部(DOT)额定的寿命、钢瓶的测试压力和钢瓶大小。

The Compressed Gas Association (CGA) lists the pressure-relief devices to be used on specific products in their Pamphlet S-1.1“Pressure-Relief Device Standards Part 1:Cylinders for Compressed Gases.” DOT regulations require compliance with this document for the selection and use of pressure-relief devices to be used on compressed gas cylinders.在他们的手册S-1.1“减压装置标准第一部分:用于压缩气体的钢瓶”中列出了用于专门产品的减压装置。

对于用于压缩气体钢瓶的减压装置的选择和使用,DOT的规范要求同这个文件相一致。

CAUTION: Pressure-relief devices do not permit the user to exercise any less care in following proper handling, use, and storage procedures for cylinders.警告:减压装置不允许用户在遵守正确的钢瓶操作、使用和储存程序方面有任何的掉以轻心。

Types of Cylinder Pressure-Relief Devices钢瓶减压装置的类型The CGA has identified several types of pressure-relief devices:压缩气体协会已经鉴定了减压装置的几种类型:Type CG-1: The Rupture Disk DeviceCG-1型:破裂盘装置A rupture disk device is a nonreclosing pressure-relief device actuated by static pressure and designed to function by the bursting of a pressure-containing disk. The disk is the operating part of the device. It is a flat disk, typically made of metal, designed to a specification that will allow it to burst at a predetermined pressure to permit the release of gas. Rupture disks relieve overpressure in cylinders that may result from an external fire or from overfilling. The burst pressure of rupture disks may not exceed the minimum DOT-required test pressure of the cylinder, which is generally 5/3 of the cylinder service pressure. Some exceptions to this rule are:破裂盘装置是一个非重闭减压装置,它由静压力启动,通过容压盘的破裂发挥作用。

破裂盘是装置中的工作部件。

它是一个平坦的盘子,多数用金属制成,设计得允许它在预定的压力下破裂,从而让气体释放。

破裂盘释放钢瓶内可能源于外部着火或过量灌装的过多的压力。

破裂盘的破裂压力不能超过DOT要求的钢瓶的最小测试压力,该压力一般是钢瓶工作压力的5/3。

这个规定的一些例外是:•The burst pressure must not exceed 4500 psig for DOT-3E or CTC-3E specification cylinders.对于DOT-3E或CTC-3E规格钢瓶,破裂压力不能超过4500 psig。

•The burst pressure must not be less than105% of the cylinder test pressure or greater than 80% of the minimum burst pressure for DOT-39 cylinders. 对于DOT-39钢瓶,破裂压力不能小于钢瓶测试压力的105%,或者大于最小破裂压力的80%。

The pressure rating of the disk is typically stamped onto the face of the device.破裂盘的额定压力一般印在装置的正面。

Type CG-2: Fusible Plug Device Rated at 165°FCG-2型:额定在165°F的易熔塞装置The fusible plug device is a nonreclosing pressure relief device designed to function by the yielding or melting of a plug of fusible metal. The type CG-2 plugs use an alloy that yields at a temperature not exceeding 170°F, nor less than 157°F (165°F nominal). These devices are not suitable for service pressures exceeding 500 psig. Pressures above 500 psig may cause the fusible alloy to extrude and eventually release the product.易熔塞装置是一个非重闭减压装置,通过易熔金属制成的塞子的变形或熔化发挥作用。

CG-2型塞子使用一种合金,该合金在不超过170°F和不小于157°F (标称值165°F)的温度时变形。

这些装置不适用于超过500 psig的工作压力。

500 psig以上的压力会使易熔合金变形和最终释放出产品。

Failures from excess pressure are time- and pressure-dependent. These devices cannot be relied upon to protect from over pressurization at temperatures below their melting point.过大压力导致的失效同时间和压力有关。

在温度低于它们的熔点时,不能依赖它们来防止过压。

They are designed to protect the cylinder from over pressurization caused by exposure to excessive heat only. In the event a cylinder is exposed to fire or other sources of excess heat, the fusible plug is designed to melt and release the cylinder contents. This prevents product within the cylinder from creating excessively high pressures, caused by high external temperatures, and rupturing the cylinder. The plugs may use one of several designs to hold the fusible alloy in place. (See Fig. 2.)The temperature rating of the fusible metal is stamped into the face of the device. 它们只能防止仅仅由于接触过多的热量导致的钢瓶过压。
